# Use Sotto

> Ask Sotto for reply suggestions while helping customers, accept them, edit them, or let active Sotto suggest on its own.

export const Artigo = ({titulo, href, children}) => <a className="lista-artigos-item" href={href}>
    <span className="lista-artigos-texto">
      <span className="lista-artigos-nome">{titulo}</span>
      {children ? <span className="lista-artigos-desc">{children}</span> : null}
    </span>
    <svg className="lista-artigos-seta" viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="18" height="18" aria-hidden="true">
      <path d="M9 6l6 6-6 6" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" strokeWidth="2" strokeLinecap="round" strokeLinejoin="round" />
    </svg>
  </a>;

export const Lista = ({titulo, children}) => <div className="lista-artigos">
    {titulo ? <p className="lista-artigos-titulo">{titulo}</p> : null}
    <div className="lista-artigos-itens">{children}</div>
  </div>;

Sotto reads the conversation history, including the summary Tino leaves when handing off a conversation, and asks the Cérebro (the company's brain) what the company knows about the topic to suggest a ready-to-send reply. You decide whether to send it directly, edit it first, or ignore it.

<Note>
  Who can see this: only those with access granted by a manager, under **Configurações > Empresa > Usuários** (Settings > Company > Users) (Sotto column). Active Sotto, which suggests on its own without you asking, is part of the Scale plan.

  The Tartini interface is in Portuguese. Screen and button names appear here exactly as on screen, with the translation in parentheses.

By default there's no suggestion until you ask for one.

  <Step title="Wait for the reply">The panel opens on the Sotto tab with the suggested text.</Step>
  <Step title="Choose what to do">Use **Enviar** (Send) to send it directly, or insert it in the field to review it first.</Step>

## Chat with Sotto

By default the tab opens empty, with "Como posso ajudar?".

  <Step title="Open the panel">Click the arrow at the right end of the conversation header, then the **Sotto** tab.</Step>

By default active Sotto follows the preference set in Regras de Conversa (Conversation Rules).

Where to find it: switch next to the **Sotto** tab, in the details panel.

  <Step title="Watch for suggestions">They appear on their own at the end of the conversation, without you needing to ask.</Step>
</Steps>

## Accept or edit the suggestion

By default there's no suggestion until Sotto generates one.

Where to find it: box at the end of the conversation (active Sotto) or the Sotto tab.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Read the suggestion">The box shows the text ready to send.</Step>
  <Step title="Choose to use it directly or edit it">Click **Usar resposta** (Use reply) to send it, or **Editar antes** (Edit first) to move the text to the message field and adjust it.</Step>

## Credits

Every question to Sotto consumes credits from your company's monthly allowance. Track consumption under **Configurações > Cobrança > Créditos** (Settings > Billing > Credits).

<Note>
  Audio transcription and active Sotto also consume credits. When credits run out, the red banner at the top warns you and the AI stops.
